In this activity, students characterize some global patterns of deep, cold-topped clouds visible on global infrared satellite images. They will apply these characterizations to answer questions about local and global patterns of precipitation. The questions concern what clouds are and how they form, atmospheric cooling, rising air, precipitation, and the use of remote satellite imagery to see precipitation-producing clouds and storms. They will also create animated global infrared satellite images and answer some questions concerning them.
